Yea, (and ouch) I have a new tire. The screw in the tire was too close to the sidewall. So they will not fix it, only replace it. Of course the in stock selection of 15 inch tires is limited and the did not have it in stock. It had to come "from the warehouse" and the truck that delivers them did not arrive until 3:30. So off I went and Mrs Carrera decided I was "needed" to help her buy LED light bulbs up the street a couple of miles away. So she came and picked me up and off we went. Mission accomplished. Back to the tire shop, and the Elky was almost done. They finished up in a couple of minutes, and pay and done.
I pulled in my garage and checked the work. Lugs were torqued pretty close. The tire pressure was at 46 PSI and I determined that was a TAD high. I dropped it to 28 hot, and I will check it in the morning to set it back to 24. I was expecting it to be about 36, but NOT 46. Oh well, that is why I do most of my own work. But I will not be doing tire work.
